Uhu, honestly I intended to grease the spindle bearings exactly as you stated, and I even ordered a grease needle for this purpose. I read a few threads describing that method and quite a few people chimed in that they "didn't like" that method or they felt more "comfortable" greasing it like...

Thank you for the very kind words. It means alot. I'd love to take you up on your UK offer! I'd like to get over there someday.

Hey guys, I had a long trip planned and knew my wheel bearings were really loose, my LX is a newer purchase and I'm working my way through the vehicle. Prior to purchase, the brakes were serviced at Lexus, so I thought they were done correctly - I was mistaken. I did a quick preload reset on...

I made another video, on how to flush the AHC system. I know not all the years of the land cruiser had ahc, but it may help out a few of you that have the system. If you have any questions let me know. It took less than an hour and under $50 usd for fluid.

Thanks for the kind words! I got lucky and got a fairly rust free chassis, but i know your pain.

Hello, This maybe geared for people who off road their 100's but if you've wanted some more ground clearance under the spare tire i put together a small diy video on a way you can gain some elevation for under $20 usd. Measurements before and after are in the video as well. A rear bumper & tire...

if you have a thunk, you may want to try lubricating the uj and the driveshaft, it should be done periodically as maintenance.
